Summary/Abstract: The level of being what the man himself is, is recognized and perceived through the prism of the other and the different. The otherness in the reference of comprehension summarizes itself in relation to others and the world, and is a call to know one’s own position within the given. Man as a being is given to actualize himself in the reality of the world where his existence takes place. The necessity of being is the knowledge by which a man is a man and his world is a world as he himself if he is known. Cognition itself is the horizon of being where others discover, get to know, understand, accept in themselves and become a part of being, woven into the reality of the world. Man exists and becomes a man through the relation of individuality and collectivity.
